Good Afternoon,
I am currently 2 months into my testopel implant and the first 6 weeks I definitely felt the difference, but now my T levels are starting to drop back down. I recently did my blood test and my Doc confirmed that the levels are dropping but because they are still a little over 300 he cannot do another procedure because my insurance wont approve it until my levels drop to 205 again. Can I use T400 while I have Testopel stll in me ?
Thanks in advance for the responses

Hi Lucas,

I think depending on how long you intend to continue testopel treatment would be a good indicator as to whether or not you should supplement with additional testosterone, since adding more (i.e. increasing your levels) may also increase your wait time for another procedure - If I understand that correctly? I also wonder how long the T400 is supposed to last for after administering it via inj?

You mentioned that the testopel implant lasted 6 weeks before noticing its effects diminish. So my thoughts are that if the testopel treatment is what works best for you (and lasts longer than other forms of treatment such as T400), then maybe it would be a good idea to stick with testopel and ride out the window of time that you'd have to wait until the next procedure; which I'm guessing would be less time than if you were to add more testosterone into the mix...

Another benefit of waiting (at least in my opinion) is that when you do go back for another procedure, by that time you'd probably feel the initial significant difference that you had previously felt within the first 6 weeks of treatment. Having that renewed sense of self can be a powerful feeling, but this is just my perspective. I'm sure others may have different feedback from their own personal experience.

Hope this helps!
